Sparta Rotterdam vs Feyenoord Prediction and Betting Tips | August 20, 2023 

Sparta Rotterdam host Feyenoord at the Sparta Stadion on Sunday (August 20) on matchday two of the Dutch Eredivisie, looking to build on their opening-day win.

The Castle Lords began their new top-flight campaign with a 2-1 defeat of PEC Zwolle last weekend. An own goal from Sam Kersten in the first half coupled with a strike from Tobias Lauritsen put them 2-0 up before Lennart Thy pulled one back for Zwolle, which was too little too late. With three point, Sparta are seventh in the Eredivisie.

Menwhile, for defending champions Feyenoord, it hs been a difficult start to the new campaign, as they have gone winless in two games across competitions.

De Stadionclub lost 1-0 to PSV Eindhoven in the Johan Cryuff Shield, the Dutch Supercup, before starting their league campaign with a goalless draw against Fortuna Sittard. The game saw them reduced to 10 men after only 25 minutes following Bart Nieuwkoop's send-off.

Arne Slot's side are just two places adrfit of Sparta in the points table.
